CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”), Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include statements about our expectations, beliefs or intentions regarding our product development efforts, business, financial condition, results of operations, strategies or prospects. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results as of the date they are made. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause our actual activities or results to differ materially from the activities and results anticipated in forward-looking statements. These factors include those described below and in “Item 1A-Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and described from time to time in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements. We intend that all forward-looking statements be subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the PSLRA. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and reflect our views as of the date they are made with respect to future events and financial performance.

Risks and uncertainties, the occurrence of which could adversely affect our business, include the following:

 

   

We have a history of operating losses and we do not expect to become profitable in the near future.

 

   

Our technologies are in an early stage of development and are unproven.

 

   

Our business is substantially dependent on our ability to develop, launch and generate revenue from our pharmaceutical and diagnostic programs.

 

   

Our research and development activities may not result in commercially viable products.

 

   

The results of previous clinical trials may not be predictive of future results, and our current and planned clinical trials may not satisfy the requirements of the FDA or other non-U.S. regulatory authorities.

 

   

We will require substantial additional funding, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

   

We expect to finance future cash needs primarily through public or private offerings, debt financings or strategic collaborations, which may dilute your stockholdings in the Company.

 

   

If our competitors develop and market products that are more effective, safer or less expensive than our future product candidates, our commercial opportunities will be negatively impacted.

 

   

The regulatory approval process is expensive, time consuming and uncertain and may prevent us or our collaboration partners from obtaining approvals for the commercialization of some or all of our product candidates.

 

   

Failure to recruit and enroll patients for clinical trials may cause the development of our product candidates to be delayed.

 

   

Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for our product candidates, the terms of approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limit how we manufacture and market our product candidates, which could materially impair our ability to generate anticipated revenues.

 

   

We may not meet regulatory quality standards applicable to our manufacturing and quality processes.

 

   

Even if we receive regulatory approval to market our product candidates, the market may not be receptive to our products.

Table of Contents
   

The loss of Phillip Frost, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, could have a material adverse effect on our business and development.

 

   

If we fail to attract and retain key management and scientific personnel, we may be unable to successfully develop or commercialize our product candidates.

 

   

In the event that we successfully evolve from a company primarily involved in development to a company also involved in commercialization, we may encounter difficulties in managing our growth and expanding our operations successfully.

 

   

If we fail to acquire and develop other products or product candidates, at all or on commercially reasonable terms, we may be unable to diversify or grow our business.

 

   

We have no experience manufacturing our pharmaceutical product candidates other than at our Israeli and Mexican facilities and we therefore rely on third parties to manufacture and supply our pharmaceutical product candidates, and would need to meet various standards necessary to satisfy FDA regulations if and when we commence manufacturing.

 

   

We currently have no pharmaceutical or diagnostic marketing, sales or distribution capabilities other than in Chile and Mexico for sales in those countries and our API business in Israel. If we are unable to develop our sales and marketing and distribution capability on our own or through collaborations with marketing partners, we will not be successful in commercializing our pharmaceutical product candidates.

 

   

Independent clinical investigators and contract research organizations that we engage to conduct our clinical trials may not be diligent, careful or timely.

 

   

The success of our business is dependent on the actions of our collaborative partners.

 

   

Our license agreement with TESARO, Inc. is important to our business. If TESARO does not successfully develop and commercialize rolapitant, our business could be adversely affected.

 

   

If we are unable to obtain and enforce patent protection for our products, our business could be materially harmed.

 

   

We do not have an exclusive arrangement in place with Dr. Tom Kodadek with respect to technology or intellectual property that may be material to our business.

 

   

If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our proprietary information and know-how, the value of our technology and products could be adversely affected.

 

   

We rely heavily on licenses from third parties.

 

   

We license patent rights to certain of our technology from third-party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the patents underlying such licenses, our competitive position and business prospects will be harmed.

 

   

Our commercial success depends significantly on our ability to operate without infringing the patents and other proprietary rights of third parties.

 

   

Adverse results in material litigation matters or governmental inquiries could have a material adverse effect upon our business and financial condition.

 

   

Medicare prescription drug coverage legislation and future legislative or regulatory reform of the health care system may affect our ability to sell our products profitably.

 

   

Failure to obtain regulatory approval outside the United States will prevent us from marketing our product candidates abroad.

 

   

We may not have the funding available to pursue acquisitions.

Table of Contents
   

Acquisitions may disrupt our business, distract our management and may not proceed as planned; and we may encounter difficulties in integrating acquired businesses.

 

   

Non-U.S. governments often impose strict price controls, which may adversely affect our future profitability.

 

   

Political, economic, and military instability in Israel could adversely impact our operations.

 

   

Our business may become subject to legal, economic, political, regulatory and other risks associated with international operations.

 

   

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.

 

   

Directors, executive officers, principal stockholders and affiliated entities own a significant percentage of our capital stock, and they may make decisions that you do not consider to be in your best interests or in the best interests of our stockholders.

 

   

Compliance with changing regulations concerning corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses.

 

   

If we are unable to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as they apply to us, or our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective, the reliability of our financial statements may be questioned and our common stock price may suffer.

 

   

We may be unable to maintain our listing on the NYSE, which could cause our stock price to fall and decrease the liquidity of our common stock.

 

   

Future issuances of common stock and hedging activities may depress the trading price of our common stock.

 

   

Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could discourage an acquisition of us by a third party, even if the acquisition would be favorable to you.

 

   

We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

NOTE 1 BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

We are a multi-national pharmaceutical and diagnostics company that seeks to establish industry-leading positions in large and rapidly growing medical markets by leveraging our discovery, development and commercialization expertise and our novel and proprietary technologies. We are developing a range of solutions to diagnose, treat and prevent various conditions, including molecular diagnostics tests, point-of-care tests, and proprietary pharmaceuticals and vaccines. We plan to commercialize these solutions on a global basis in large and high growth markets, including emerging markets. We have already established emerging markets pharmaceutical platforms in Chile and Mexico, which are generating revenue and which we expect to generate positive cash flow and facilitate future market entry for our products currently in development. We also operate a specialty active pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”) manufacturer in Israel, which is currently generating revenue and positive cash flow, and which we expect to play a valuable role in the development of our pipeline of peptoids and other molecules for our proprietary molecular diagnostic and therapeutic products. We continue to actively explore opportunities to acquire complementary pharmaceuticals, compounds, technologies, and businesses.

We are incorporated in Delaware and our principal executive offices are located in Miami, Florida. We lease office and lab space in Jupiter and Miramar, Florida, which is where our molecular diagnostics research and development and oligonucleotide research and development operations are based, respectively. We lease office, manufacturing, research and development and warehouse space in Woburn, Massachusetts for our point-of-care diagnostics business, and in Nesher, Israel for our API business. Our Chilean operations are located in leased offices and a leased warehouse facility in Santiago, Chile, and we own an office and manufacturing facility, and lease a warehouse facility in Guadalajara, Mexico.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows have been made. The results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations and cash flows that may be reported for the remainder of 2012 or for future periods. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Reclassifications. As further discussed in Note 6, the results of operations and the assets and the liabilities related to the Instrumentation Business have been accounted for as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the results of the operations related to the Instrumentation Business from prior periods have been reclassified to discontinued operations.

We have reclassified certain expenses previously recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses to inventory as of March 31, 2012. This reclassification resulted in a reduction of cost of goods sold of $0.4 million ($0.00 per share). The activities reclassified were primarily related to certain costs related to the procurement of inventory at our Chilean pharmaceutical business.

Principles of consolidation . The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OPKO Health, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates . The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of short-term, interest-bearing instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. We also consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities at the date of purchase of 90 days or less as cash equivalents. These investments include money markets, bank deposits, and U.S. treasury securities.

Marketable securities. Investments with original maturities of greater than 90 days and remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as marketable securities. Marketable securities include U.S. treasury securities. Unrealized gains and temporary losses on investments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses, dividends, interest income, and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary credit losses are included in other income (expense). Amortization of any premium or discount arising at purchase is included in interest income.

Comprehensive loss. Our comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 includes (i) the net loss for the three months, (ii) the unrealized gain of $0.1 million on our common stock options and warrants of Neovasc, Inc. (“Neovasc”) (Refer to Note 5), and (iii) the cumulative translation adjustment, net, of $1.4 million for the translation results of our subsidiaries in Chile and Mexico. Comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 includes net loss for the three months and the cumulative translation adjustment, net, of $0.5 million for the translation results of our subsidiaries in Chile and Mexico.

Revenue recognition. Generally, we recognize revenue from product sales when goods are shipped and title and risk of loss transfer to our customers.

Other revenue includes revenue related to upfront license payments, license fees and milestone payments received through our license, collaboration and commercialization agreements. We analyze our multiple-element arrangements to determine whether the elements can be separated and accounted for individually as separate units of accounting. In addition, other revenue includes $0.1 million of revenue related to our consulting agreement we entered into with Neovasc. Refer to Note 5. We recognize the revenue on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the agreement.

Non-refundable license fees for the out-license of our technology are recognized depending on the provisions of each agreement. We recognize non-refundable upfront license payments as revenue upon receipt if the license has standalone value and the fair value of our undelivered obligations, if any, can be determined. If the license is considered to have standalone value but the fair value of any of the undelivered items cannot be determined, the license payments are recognized as revenue over the period of our performance for such undelivered items or services. License fees with ongoing involvement or performance obligations are recorded as deferred revenue once received and generally are recognized ratably over the period of such performance obligation only after both the license period has commenced and we have delivered the technology. Our assessment of our obligations and related performance periods requires significant management judgment. If an agreement contains research and development obligations, the relevant time period for the research and development phase is based on management estimates and could vary depending on the outcome of clinical trials and the regulatory approval process. Such changes could materially impact the revenue recognized, and as a result, management reviews the estimates related to the relevant time period of research and development on a quarterly basis.

Revenue from milestone payments related to arrangements under which we have continuing performance obligations are recognized as revenue upon achievement of the milestone only if all of the following conditions are met: the milestone payments are non-refundable; there was substantive uncertainty at the date of entering into the arrangement that the milestone would be achieved; the milestone is commensurate with either the vendor’s performance to achieve the milestone or the enhancement of the value of the delivered item by the vendor; the milestone relates solely to past performance; and the amount of the milestone is reasonable in relation to the effort expended or the risk associated with the achievement of the milestone. If any of these conditions are not met, the milestone payments are not considered to be substantive and are, therefore, deferred and recognized as revenue over the term of the arrangement as we complete our performance obligations.

Total deferred revenue related to other revenues was $1.8 million and $0.9 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Table of Contents

Derivative financial instruments. We record derivative financial instruments on our balance sheet at their fair value and the changes in the fair value are recognized in income when they occur, the only exception being derivatives that qualify as hedges. To qualify the derivative instrument as a hedge, we are required to meet strict hedge effectiveness and contemporaneous documentation requirements at the initiation of the hedge and assess the hedge effectiveness on an ongoing basis over the life of the hedge. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our forward contracts for inventory purchases did not meet the documentation requirements to be designated as hedges. Accordingly, we recognize all changes in fair values in income. Refer to Note 7.

Product warranties . Product warranty expense is recorded concurrently with the recording of revenue for product sales. The costs of warranties are accounted for as a component of cost of sales. We estimate warranty costs based on our estimated historical experience and adjust for any known product reliability issues.

Allowance for doubtful accounts . We analyze accounts receivable and historical bad debt levels, customer credit worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts using the specific identification method. Our reported net loss is directly affected by our estimate of the collectability of accounts receivable. Estimated allowances for sales returns are based upon our history of product returns. The amount of allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.3 million and $0.4 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Segment reporting . Our chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) is comprised of our executive management with the oversight of our board of directors. Our CODM reviews our operating results and operating plans and make resource allocation decisions on a company-wide or aggregate basis. We currently manage our operations in one reportable segment, pharmaceutical. The pharmaceutical segment consists of two operating segments, our (i) pharmaceutical research and development segment which is focused on the research and development of pharmaceutical products, diagnostic tests and vaccines, and (ii) the pharmaceutical operations we acquired in Chile, Mexico and Israel through the acquisition of OPKO Chile, Exakta-OPKO and FineTech Pharmaceuticals, respectively. There are no inter-segment sales. We evaluate the performance of each operating segment based on operating profit or loss. There is no inter-segment allocation of interest expense and income taxes.

Equity-based compensation. We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized in the statement of operations over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. We record excess tax benefits, realized from the exercise of stock options as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid in cash flow from operations. Equity-based compensation arrangements to non-employees are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of equity-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instruments vest. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we recorded $1.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of equity-based compensation expense.

Recent accounting pronouncements . On January 1, 2012, we adopted an amendment issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to the accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosure requirements. This standard provides certain amendments to the existing guidance on the use and application of fair value measurements and maintains a definition of fair value that is based on the notion of exit price. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2012, we adopted amendments issued by the FASB to the accounting standards related to the presentation of comprehensive income. These standards revise the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements and remove the option to present items of other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. These standards require an entity to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income, or (2) two separate but consecutive statements of net income and other comprehensive income. We modified our financial statements presentation using the latter alternative.

On January 1, 2012, we adopted revised guidance issued by the FASB related to the testing of goodwill for impairment. Under the revised guidance, an entity has the option to perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value prior to performing the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. If, based on the qualitative factors, an entity determines that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then the entity would not be required to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test for that reporting unit. However, if the qualitative assessment indicates that it is not more-likely-than-not that the reporting unit’s fair value exceeds its carrying value, then the quantitative assessment

 

12


Table of Contents

must be performed. An entity is permitted to perform the qualitative assessment on none, some or all of its reporting units and may also elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and begin with the quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment. This amendment did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing our net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing our net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding and the impact of all dilutive potential common shares, primarily stock options. The dilutive impact of stock options and warrants is determined by applying the “treasury stock” method.

A total of 27,416,029 and 27,604,138 potential common shares have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2012, the holders of our Series D Preferred Stock could convert their Preferred Shares into approximately 11,659,137 shares of our Common Stock.

NOTE 5 ACQUISITIONS, INVESTMENTS, AND LICENSES

FineTech acquisition

On December 29, 2011, we purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of FineTech Pharmaceuticals, Ltd., (“FineTech”) a privately held Israeli company focused on the development and production of specialty Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (“APIs”). At closing, we delivered to the seller $27.7 million, of which $10.0 million

was paid in cash and $17.7 million was paid in shares of our common stock. The shares delivered at closing were valued at $17.7 million based on the closing sales price per share of our common stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the actual closing date of the acquisition, or $4.90 per share. The number of shares issued was based on the average closing sales price per share of our common stock as reported on the NYSE for the ten trading days immediately preceding the execution of the purchase agreement, or $4.84 per share. Upon finalization of the closing financial statements of FineTech, we accrued an additional $0.5 million for a working capital surplus, as defined in the purchase agreement, which was paid to the seller in February 2012. In addition, the purchase agreement provides for the payment of additional cash consideration subject to the achievement of certain sales milestones.

Claros Diagnostics acquisition

On October 13, 2011, we acquired Claros Diagnostics, Inc. (“Claros”) pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger. We paid $10.0 million in cash, subject to certain set-offs and deductions, and $22.5 million in shares of our common stock, based on the closing sales price per share of our common stock as reported by the NYSE on the closing date of the merger, or $5.04 per share. The number of shares issued was based on the average closing sales price per share of our common stock as reported by the NYSE for the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of the merger, or $4.45 per share. Pursuant to the merger agreement, $5.0 million of the stock consideration is held in a separate escrow account to secure the indemnification obligations of Claros under the Claros merger agreement. In December 2011, we made a $0.2 million claim against the escrow for certain undisclosed liabilities. In addition, the merger agreement provides for the payment of up to an additional $19.125 million in shares of our common stock upon and subject to the achievement of certain milestones.

Investments

In February 2012, we made a $1.0 million investment in ChromaDex Corporation (“ChromaDex”), a publicly traded company and leading provider of proprietary ingredients and products for the dietary supplement, nutraceutical, food and beverage, functional food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic markets, in exchange for 1,333,333 shares of ChromaDex common stock, at $0.75 per share. In connection with our investment, we also entered into a license, supply and distribution agreement with ChromaDex pursuant to which we obtained exclusive distribution rights to certain of its products in Latin America. Our investment was part of a $3.7 million private placement by Chromadex. Other investors participating in the private financing included certain related parties. Refer to Note 9.

We have determined that our ownership, along with our related parties do not provide us with significant influence over the operations of ChromaDex and as a result, we account for ChromaDex under the cost method.

In February 2012, we purchased from Biozone Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a publicly traded company that specializes in drug development, (“BZNE”), $1.7 million of 10% secured convertible promissory notes (the “BZNE Notes”), convertible into BZNE common stock at a price equal to $0.20 per common share, which Notes are due and payable on February 24, 2014 and ten year warrants (the “BZNE Warrants”) to purchase 8.5 million shares of BZNE common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The Notes are secured pursuant to a security agreement by a first priority lien in the assets of BZNE, including the stock of its subsidiaries. As further consideration for the purchase of the Notes by us, BZNE granted us exclusive, worldwide distribution rights to its enhanced formulation of propofol. The parties also entered into a license agreement pursuant to which we acquired a world-wide license for the development and commercialization of products utilizing BZNE’s proprietary drug delivery technology, including QuSomes, exclusively for OPKO in the field of ophthalmology and non-exclusive for all other therapeutic fields, subject in each case to certain excluded products. Refer to Note 9.

We have accounted for the BZNE Notes as an available for sale investment. We recorded the BZNE Notes and BZNE Warrants at fair value on the date of acquisition, initially valuing the BZNE Notes at $1.7 million and the BZNE Warrants at $1.1 million, which was recorded in other income and expense, net. As a result, we recorded the investment at a total of $2.8 million. Changes in fair value for the BZNE Notes will be recorded through other comprehensive income each reporting period and changes in fair value for the beneficial conversion feature of the BZNE Notes and the BNZE Warrants will be recorded in other income and expense in our Statement of Operations. The trading activity in BZNE does not represent an active market and as such, we have determined the fair market value utilizing a business enterprise valuation approach in order to determine the fair value of our investment in BZNE.

We have determined that BZNE has an insufficient amount of equity to carry out its principal activities without additional financial support and meets the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). We determined that we do not have the power to direct the activities of BZNE which most significantly impact its economic performance and as such, have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of BZNE. We will continue to evaluate our relationship with BZNE including if we convert the BZNE Notes or BZNE Warrants into BZNE common stock.

In August 2011, we made an investment in Neovasc, a medical technology company that is publicly traded in Canada and based in Vancouver, Canada. Neovasc is developing devices to treat cardiovascular diseases and is also a leading supplier of tissue components for the manufacturers of replacement heart valves. We invested $2.0 million and received two million Neovasc common shares, and two-year warrants to purchase an additional one million shares for $1.25 a share. We recorded the warrants on the date of grant at their estimated fair value of $0.7 million using the Black-Scholes-Merton Model. Prior to the warrants being readily convertible into cash, we recorded an unrealized gain of $0.2 million in other comprehensive income. During the three months ended March, 31, 2012 we recorded an unrealized gain of $0.1 million related to these warrants to reflect the increase in the closing price of Neovasc common stock in other income and expense, net. We also entered into an agreement with Neovasc to provide strategic advisory services to Neovasc as it continues to develop and commercialize its novel cardiac devices. In connection with the consulting agreement, Neovasc granted us 913,750 common stock options. The options were granted at (Canadian) $1.00 per share and vest annually over three years. We valued the options using the Black-Scholes-Merton Model at $0.8 million on the date of grant and will recognize the revenue over four years as other revenue. Through March 31, 2012, we have recorded other comprehensive income of $0.3 million including $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The unrealized gain reflects the increase in share price of Neovasc to the (Canadian) $1.40. Refer to Note 9.

In December 2010, we entered into a license agreement (the “TESARO License”) with TESARO, Inc. (“TESARO”) granting TESARO exclusive rights to the development, manufacture, commercialization and distribution of rolapitant and a related compound. In connection with the TESARO License, we also acquired an equity position in TESARO. We recorded the equity position at $0.7 million, the estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow model.

Neither we nor our related parties have the ability to significantly influence TESARO and as such, we account for our investment in TESARO under the cost method. In June 2011, TESARO announced a $101 million financing. In connection with that financing, we determined TESARO no longer meets the definition of a variable interest entity as it has sufficient capital to carry out its principal activities without additional financial support.

In November 2010, we made an investment in Fabrus, Inc., a privately held early stage biotechnology company with next generation therapeutic antibody drug discovery and development capabilities. Fabrus is using its proprietary antibody screening and engineering approach to discover promising lead compounds against several important oncology targets. Our investment was part of a $2.1 million financing for Fabrus and included other related parties. Refer to Note 9.

In September 2009, we entered into an agreement pursuant to which we invested $2.5 million in cash in Cocrystal Discovery, Inc., a privately held biopharmaceutical company (“Cocrystal”) in exchange for 1,701,723 shares of Cocrystal’s Convertible Series A Preferred Stock. Cocrystal is focused on the discovery and development of novel antiviral drugs using a combination of protein structure-based approaches. Refer to Note 9.

In October 2011, Cocrystal received an investment of $7.5 million from Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. In connection with that investment, we determined Cocrystal no longer meets the definition of a variable interest entity as it has sufficient capital to carry out its principal activities without additional financial support. As a result of the Company’s and its related parties’ ownership interest, the Company and its related parties have the ability to significantly influence Cocrystal, and we account for our investment under the equity method.

In June 2009, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (“Sorrento”), a publicly held company with a technology for generating fully human monoclonal antibodies, pursuant to which we invested $2.3 million in Sorrento. The closing stock price for Sorrento’s common stock, a thinly traded stock, as quoted on the over-the-counter markets was $0.59 per share on March 31, 2012. Refer to Note 9.

Variable interest entities

We have determined that we hold a variable interests in two entities, Fabrus and BZNE. We made this determination as a result of our assessment that they do not have sufficient resources to carry out their principal activities without additional financial support.

In order to determine the primary beneficiary of Fabrus, we evaluated our investment and our related parties’ investments, as well as our investment combined with the related party group’s investment to identify if we had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Fabrus. The related party group when considering our investment in Fabrus includes the Company, Frost Gamma Investments Trust, of which Phillip Frost is the sole trustee (the “Gamma Trust”), Hsu Gamma Investment, L.P., of which Jane Hsiao is the general partner (“Hsu Gamma”), and the Richard Lerner Family Trust. Drs. Frost, Hsiao and Lerner are all members of our Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2012 we own approximately 13% of Fabrus and Dr.’s Frost, Hsiao and Lerner own a total of 24% of Fabrus’ voting stock on an as converted basis, including 16% held by the Gamma Trust. Drs. Frost and Hsiao currently serve on the board of directors of Fabrus and represent 40% of its board. Based on this analysis, we determined that neither we nor our related parties have the power to direct the activities of Fabrus. However, we did determine that our related parties can significantly influence the success of Fabrus through our related parties board representation and voting power. As we have the ability to exercise significant influence over Fabrus’ operations, we account for our investments in Fabrus under the equity method.

In order to determine the primary beneficiary of BZNE, we evaluated our investment and our related parties’ investments, as well as our investment combined with the related party group’s investments to identify if we had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of BZNE. We determined that power to direct the activities that most significantly impact BZNE’s economic performance is conveyed through the board of directors of BZNE and no entity is able to appoint BZNE’s governing body who oversee its executive management team. Based on the capital structure, governing documents and overall business operations, we determined that, while a VIE, no single entity has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact BZNE’s economic performance.

NOTE 6 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In September 2011, we announced that we entered into an agreement with Optos, Inc., a subsidiary of Optos plc (collectively (“Optos”) to sell our ophthalmic instrumentation business. Upon closing in October 2011, we received $17.5 million of cash and we will receive royalties up to $22.5 million on future sales.

The assets and liabilities related to our instrumentation business have identifiable cash flows that are independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities and we will not have a significant continuing involvement with the related products beyond one year after the closing of the transactions. Therefore, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets report the assets and liabilities related to our instrumentation business as discontinued operations in all periods presented, and the results of operations related to our instrumentation business have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented.

The following table presents the major classes of assets and liabilities that have been presented as assets of discontinued operations and liabilities of discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

NOTE 7 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We record fair value at an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. We utilize a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

As of March 31, 2012, we have money market funds that qualify as cash equivalents, U.S. Treasury securities that qualify as cash equivalents, U.S. Treasury securities recorded as marketable securities, forward contracts for inventory purchases (Refer to Note 8) and contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of CURNA, Claros and FineTech (Refer to Note 10) that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Our U.S. Treasury securities mature on April 26, 2012 ($10.0 million) and June 28, 2012 ($15.0 million). Of the $19.1 million of contingent consideration, $4.3 million is recorded as an accrued expense and $14.8 million is recorded in other long-term liabilities. We valued the contingent consideration utilizing a discounted cash flow model for the expected payments.

In addition, in connection with our investment in Neovasc as well as entering into our consulting agreement with Neovasc, we record our options and warrants at fair value. Refer to Note 5. In connection with our BNZE investment, we recorded the BZNE Notes and BZNE Warrants at fair value on the date of acquisition, initially valuing the BZNE Notes at $1.7 million and the BZNE Warrants at $1.1 million which was recorded in other income and expense, net. As a result, we recorded the investment at a total of $2.8 million. Changes in fair value for the BZNE Notes will be recorded through other comprehensive income each reporting period and changes in fair value for the beneficial conversion feature of the BZNE Notes and the BNZE Warrants will be recorded in other income and expense in our Statement of Operations. The trading activity in BZNE does not represent an active market and as such, we have determined the fair market value utilizing a business enterprise valuation approach in order to determine the fair value of our investment in BZNE.

The carrying value of our other assets and liabilities approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature.

Any future fluctuation in fair value related to these instruments that is judged to be temporary, including any recoveries of previous write-downs, would be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. If we determine that any future valuation adjustment was other-than-temporary, we would record a charge to the consolidated statement of operations as appropriate.

Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

NOTE 8 DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS

We enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to cover the risk of exposure to exchange rate differences arising from inventory purchases on letters of credit. Under these forward contracts, for any rate above or below the fixed rate, we receive or pay the difference between the spot rate and the fixed rate for the given amount at the settlement date.

In January 2012, we entered into a foreign exchange, fixed interest rate swap contract that provides for us to pay a fixed interest rate on the underlying loan balance denominated in Chilean Pesos. We entered into this agreement in Chile for purchases of inventory denominated in U.S. dollars. A hypothetical 1% interest rate change or 10% foreign exchange rate change will not have a material impact on our results from operations or financial position.

We record derivative financial instruments on our balance sheet at their fair value and the effect on loss is recorded in other accrued expenses and the changes in the fair value are recognized in other income expense, net. To qualify the derivative instrument as a hedge, we are required to meet strict hedge effectiveness and contemporaneous documentation requirements at the initiation of the hedge and assess the hedge effectiveness on an ongoing basis over the life of the hedge. At March 31, 2012, the forward contracts did not meet the documentation requirements to be designated as hedges. Accordingly, we recognize all changes in fair values in income.

The Neovasc warrants are accounted for as derivatives as they are readily convertible into cash. As a result, the fluctuations in fair value are recorded in our statement of operations in other income and expense as an unrealized gain or loss. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we recorded an unrealized gain of approximately $0.1 million in other income and expense to reflect the change in fair value based on the increase in Neovasc’s stock price. We value the warrants based on the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. In addition, the conversion feature of the BZNE Note and BZNE Warrants also are accounted for as derivatives and the changes in their fair value will be recorded in our statement of operations in other income and expense. We did not record any change in fair value of either the conversion feature of the BZNE Note or BZNE Warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

In January 2011, we entered into a definitive agreement with CURNA and each of CURNA’s stockholders and option holders, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire all of the outstanding stock of CURNA in exchange for $10.0 million in cash, plus $0.6 million in liabilities, of which $0.5 million was paid at closing. At the time of the transaction, The Scripps Research Institute (“TSRI”) owned approximately 4% of CURNA. Dr. Frost serves as a Trustee for TSRI and Dr. Richard Lerner, a director of the Company, served as its President until December 2011.

Our unutilized $12.0 million line of credit with the Frost Group, LLC (the “Frost Group”) expired on March 31, 2012. The Frost Group members include a trust controlled by Dr. Frost, who is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of directors, Dr. Jane H. Hsiao, who is the Vice Chairman of the board of directors and Chief Technical Officer, Steven D. Rubin who is Executive Vice President — Administration and a director of the Company, and Rao Uppaluri, who is the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. On June 2, 2010 we repaid all amounts outstanding on the line of credit including $12.0 million in principal and $4.1 million in interest. We did not have any borrowings under the line of credit at any time during the 2011 or 2012 fiscal years. We were obligated to pay interest upon maturity, capitalized quarterly, on any outstanding borrowings under the line of credit at an 11% annual rate. The line of credit was collateralized by all of our U.S. personal property except our intellectual property.

In November 2010, we made an investment in Fabrus, Inc., a privately held early stage biotechnology company with next generation therapeutic antibody drug discovery and development capabilities. In exchange for the investment, we acquired approximately 13% of Fabrus on a fully diluted basis. Our investment was part of a $2.1 million financing for Fabrus. Other investors participating in the financing include the Gamma Trust and Hsu Gamma. In connection with the financing, Drs. Frost and Hsiao joined the Fabrus Board of Managers. Dr. Richard Lerner, a director of the Company, owns approximately 5% of Fabrus. Vaughn Smider, Founder and CEO of Fabrus, is an Assistant Professor at The Scripps Research Institute (“TSRI”). Dr. Frost serves as a Trustee for TSRI and Dr. Richard Lerner served as its President until December 2011.

On July 20, 2010, we entered into a use agreement for approximately 1,100 square feet of space in Jupiter, Florida to house our molecular diagnostics operations with TSRI. Dr. Frost is a member of the Board of Trustees of TSRI and Dr. Richard Lerner, a member of our Board of Directors, was the President of TSRI until December 2011. Pursuant to the terms of the use agreement, which was effective as of November 1, 2009, gross rent was approximately $40 thousand per year for a two-year term. We ceased use of this space in September 2011.

On June 1, 2010, we entered into a cooperative research and development agreement with Academia Sinica in Taipei, Taiwan (“Academia Sinica”), for pre-clinical work for a compound against various forms of cancer. Dr. Alice Yu, a member of our Board of Directors, is a Distinguished Research Fellow and Associate Director at the Genomics Research Center, Academia Sinica (“Genomics Research Center”). In connection with the agreement, we are required to pay Academia Sinica approximately $0.2 million over the term of the agreement.

Dr. Alice Yu, a member of our Board of Directors, is a Distinguished Research Fellow and Associate Director at the Genomics Research Center. Effective March 5, 2010, the Frost Group assigned two license agreements with Academia Sinica to us. The license agreements pertain to alpha-galactosyl ceramide analogs and their use as immunotherapies and peptide ligands in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. In connection with the assignment of the two licenses, we agreed to reimburse the Frost Group for the licensing fees previously paid by the Frost Group to Academia Sinica in the amounts of $50 thousand and $75 thousand, respectively, as well as reimbursement of certain expenses of $50 thousand.

Effective September 21, 2009, we entered into an agreement pursuant to which we invested $2.5 million in Cocrystal in exchange for 1,701,723 shares of Cocrystal’s Convertible Series A Preferred Stock. A group of investors, led by the Frost Group (the “Cocrystal Investors”), previously invested $5 million in Cocrystal, and agreed to invest an additional $5 million payable in two equal installments in September 2009 and March 2010. As a result of an amendment to the Cocrystal Investors agreements dated June 9, 2009, the Company, rather than the Cocrystal Investors, made the first installment investment ($2.5 million) on September 21, 2009. Refer to Note 5.

On June 16, 2009, we entered into an agreement to lease approximately 10,000 square feet of space in Hialeah, Florida to house manufacturing and service operations for our ophthalmic instrumentation business (the “Hialeah Facility”) from an entity controlled by Drs. Frost and Hsiao. Effective as of July 1, 2011, the lease was amended to include an additional 5,000 square feet of space at the same rate per square foot as was then in effect under the lease. Following the amendment, gross rent payable under the lease was $0.2 million per year. Upon the closing of the sale of our instrumentation business to Optos, we assigned the lease to Optos. Refer to Note 6.

On June 10, 2009, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with Sorrento, pursuant to which we invested $2.3 million in Sorrento. Refer to Note 5. In exchange for the investment, we acquired approximately one-third of the outstanding common shares of Sorrento and received a fully-paid, exclusive license to the Sorrento antibody library for the discovery and development of therapeutic antibodies in the field of ophthalmology. On September 21, 2009, Sorrento entered into a merger transaction with Quikbyte Software, Inc. Prior to the merger transaction, certain investors, including Dr. Frost and other members of OPKO management, made an investment in Quikbyte. Dr. Richard Lerner, a member of our Board of Directors, serves as a consultant and scientific advisory board member to Sorrento and owns less than one percent of its shares.

In November 2007, we entered into an office lease with Frost Real Estate Holdings, LLC, an entity affiliated with Dr. Frost. The lease is for approximately 8,300 square feet of space in an office building in Miami, Florida, where the Company’s principal executive offices are located. We had previously been leasing this space from Frost Real Estate Holdings on a month-to-month basis while the parties were negotiating the lease. The lease provides for payments of approximately $18 thousand per month in the first year increasing annually to $24 thousand per month in the fifth year, plus applicable sales tax. The rent is inclusive of operating expenses, property taxes and parking. The rent for the first year was reduced to reflect a $30 thousand credit for the costs of tenant improvements.

We reimburse Dr. Frost for Company-related use by Dr. Frost and our other executives of an airplane owned by a company that is beneficially owned by Dr. Frost. We reimburse Dr. Frost in an amount equal to the cost of a first class airline ticket between the travel cities for each executive, including Dr. Frost, traveling on the airplane for Company-related business. We do not reimburse Dr. Frost for personal use of the airplane by Dr. Frost or any other executive; nor do we pay for any other fixed or variable operating costs of the airplane. We reimbursed Dr. Frost approximately $65 thousand and $57 thousand, respectively, for Company-related travel by Dr. Frost and other OPKO executives during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

NOTE 10 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In connection with our acquisitions of CURNA, Claros and FineTech, we agreed to pay future consideration to the sellers upon the achievement of certain events. As a result, we recorded $19.1 million as contingent consideration with $4.3 million recorded within accrued expenses and $14.8 million recorded within other long-term liabilities. Refer to Note 5.

In connection with the acquisition of Vidus Ocular, Inc. (“Vidus”), we agreed to issue additional stock consideration upon the occurrence of certain events including the issuance of 488,420 shares of our common stock upon the achievement of certain development milestones and, in the event that the stock price for our common stock at the time of receipt of approval or clearance by the FDA of a pre-market notification 510(k) relating to the Aquashunt™ is not at or above a specified price, we will be obligated to issue an additional 413,850 shares of our common stock.

We are a party to litigation in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any such litigation will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

We expect to incur substantial losses as we continue the development of our product candidates, continue our other research and development activities, and establish a sales and marketing infrastructure in anticipation of the commercialization of our diagnostic and pharmaceutical product candidates. We currently have limited commercialization capabilities, and it is possible that we may never successfully commercialize any of our diagnostic and pharmaceutical product candidates. We do not currently generate revenue from any of our diagnostic and pharmaceutical product candidates. Our research and development activities are budgeted to expand over a period of time and will require further resources if we are to be successful. As a result, we believe that our operating losses are likely to be substantial over the next several years. We may need to obtain additional funds to further develop our research and development programs, and there can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

NOTE 11 SEGMENTS

We currently manage our operations in one reportable segment, pharmaceutical. The pharmaceutical segment consists of two operating segments, our (i) pharmaceutical research and development segment which is focused on the research and development of pharmaceutical products, diagnostic tests and vaccines, and (ii) the pharmaceutical operations we acquired in Chile, Mexico, and Israel through the acquisition of OPKO Chile, Exakta-OPKO, and FineTech, respectively. There are no inter-segment sales. We evaluate the performance of each segment based on operating profit or loss. There is no inter-segment allocation of interest expense and income taxes. We previously recorded our ophthalmic instrumentation business as its own reporting segment.

NOTE 12 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In April 2012, we completed the acquisition of ALS Distribuidora Limitada (“ALS”), a privately-held Chilean pharmaceutical company, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement entered into in January 2012. In connection with the transaction, we agreed to pay up to a total of $4.0 million in cash to the Sellers. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we paid (i) $2.4 million in cash at closing to the Sellers, less certain liabilities, and (ii) $0.8 million in cash at closing into a separate escrow account to satisfy possible indemnity claims. We agreed to pay an additional $0.8 million, the remainder of the $4.0 million purchase price, to the Sellers upon the legal registration in the name of ALS of certain trademarks and product registrations previously held by Arama Laboratorios y Compañía Limitada.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

You should read this discussion together with the condensed consolidated financial statements, related Notes, and other financial information included elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “Form 10-K”). The following discussion contains assumptions, estimates and other forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under “Risk Factors,” in Part II, Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. These risks could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

We are a multi-national pharmaceutical and diagnostics company that seeks to establish industry-leading positions in large and rapidly growing medical markets by leveraging our discovery, development and commercialization expertise and our novel and proprietary technologies. We are developing a range of solutions to diagnose, treat and prevent various conditions, including molecular diagnostics tests, point-of-care tests, and proprietary pharmaceuticals and vaccines. We plan to commercialize these solutions on a global basis in large and high growth markets, including emerging markets. We have already established emerging markets pharmaceutical platforms in Chile and Mexico, which are generating revenue and which we expect to generate positive cash flow and facilitate future market entry for our products currently in development. We also operate a specialty active pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”) manufacturer in Israel, which is currently generating revenue and positive cash flow, and which we expect will play a valuable role in the development of our pipeline of peptoids and other molecules for our proprietary molecular diagnostic and therapeutic products. We continue to actively explore opportunities to acquire complementary pharmaceuticals, compounds, technologies, and businesses.

We expect to incur substantial losses as we continue the development of our product candidates, continue our other research and development activities, and establish a sales and marketing infrastructure in anticipation of the commercialization of our diagnostic and pharmaceutical product candidates. We currently have limited commercialization capabilities, and it is possible that we may never successfully commercialize any of our diagnostic and pharmaceutical product candidates. We do not currently generate revenue from any of our diagnostic and pharmaceutical product candidates. Our research and development activities are budgeted to expand over a period of time and will require further resources if we are to be successful. As a result, we believe that our operating losses are likely to be substantial over the next several years. We may need to obtain additional funds to further develop our research and development programs, and there can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us when needed on acceptable terms, or at all.

In April 2012, we completed the acquisition of ALS Distribuidora Limitada (“ALS”), a privately-held Chilean pharmaceutical company, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement entered into in January 2012. In connection with the transaction, we agreed to pay up to a total of $4.0 million in cash to the Sellers. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we paid (i) $2.4 million in cash at closing to the Sellers, less certain liabilities, and (ii) $0.8 million in cash at closing into a separate escrow account to satisfy possible indemnity claims. We agreed to pay an additional $0.8 million, the remainder of the $4.0 million purchase price, to the Sellers upon the legal registration in the name of ALS of certain trademarks and product registrations previously held by Arama Laboratorios y Compañía Limitada (“Arama”).

Recently, we announced a collaboration with Laboratory Corporation of America (LabCorp®), a S&P 500 company and pioneer in commercializing new diagnostic technologies, for Labcorp to complete the development and later commercialize laboratory testing services for Alzheimer’s disease. We will continue to develop (on our own or with partners) in vitro diagnostic tests for detection of Alzheimer’s disease, as well as companion diagnostic applications for the Alzheimer’s test, all of which rights were retained by us under the Labcorp agreement.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2012 AND 2011

Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012, was $8.8 million, compared to $7.0 million for the comparable 2011 period. The increase in revenue during the first three months of 2012 is primarily due to revenue generated by our Israeli Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (“API”) manufacturer which we acquired in December 2011.

Gross margin . Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2012, was $3.8 million compared to $2.8 million for the comparable period of 2011. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2012, increased from the 2011 period primarily as a result of the increased gross margin generated by our pharmaceutical businesses in Israel and Mexico, partially offset by decreased gross margin generated by our pharmaceutical business in Chile principally due to increased inventory reserves. Gross Margin for the three months ended March 31, 2012 benefited from the correction of an error related to certain costs for inventory purchases. The correction of the error resulted in an increase of gross margin of $0.4 million, or $0.00 per share.

Selling, general and administrative expense . Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012, was $4.7 million compared to $5.1 million of expense for the comparable period of 2011. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily the result of decreased equity-based compensation expense partially offset by increased professional fees and activities related to our Israeli API business. Selling, general and administrative expenses during the first three months of 2012 and 2011 primarily consist of personnel expenses and professional fees, including equity-based compensation expense of $0.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and professional fees.

Research and development expense . Research and development expense during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, was $4.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The increase in research and development expense primarily reflects increased activities related to our Claros, CURNA and molecular diagnostics research and development programs. We acquired Claros in October 2011, and we have also increased staffing and related activities for our CURNA and molecular diagnostics development programs. The three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, include equity-based compensation expense of $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily consisted of activities related to our molecular diagnostics development programs and post-acquisition activities related to CURNA.

Contingent consideration expense. Contingent consideration expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $1.1 million, which represents the change in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability due to the time value of money. The contingent consideration liability relates to potential amounts payable to Claros and FineTech’s former stockholders pursuant to our agreement to acquire them in October and December 2011, respectively. The comparable period of 2011 did not include any such expense.

Other operating expenses . Other operating expense was $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $0.8 million for the comparable period ended March 31, 2011. Other operating expenses primarily include the amortization of intangible assets. Amortization expense increased due to the October and December 2011 acquisitions of Claros and FineTech, respectively.

Other income and expenses . Other income and expense, net was $1.0 million for the first three months of 2012 compared to other income, net of $43 thousand for the comparable 2011 period. The first three months of 2012 include $1.1 million of other income recognized from the fair value of the warrants received in connection with our investment in Biozone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Other income primarily consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents and other expense primarily reflects the interest incurred on our lines of credit in Chile. Partially offsetting the interest incurred on our Chilean lines of credit was the benefit of our Chilean and Mexican operations currencies during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Discontinued operations. Loss from discontinued operations was $0 compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the comparable period of 2011, respectively. The 2011 results reflect the operating loss of our instrumentation business for that period. In October 2011 we sold the instrumentation business and no longer have any ongoing operations related to that business.

Income taxes . Our income tax provision reflects the income tax payable in Chile and Mexico. Our Israeli operations will benefit from a tax holiday during 2012. We have recorded a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in the U.S.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 2012, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $62.1 million. Cash used in operations during 2012 primarily reflects expenses related to selling, general and administrative activities related to our corporate operations and research and development activities, as well as our operations in Chile, Israel and Mexico. In addition, we invested $2.7 million in two pharmaceutical businesses. Since our inception, we have not generated sufficient gross margins to offset our operating and other expenses and our primary source of cash has been from the public and private placement of stock and credit facilities available to us.

In connection with our acquisitions of CURNA, Claros and FineTech, we agreed to pay future consideration to the sellers upon the achievement of certain events, including minimum cash payments of $5.0 to the former stockholder of FineTech upon the achievement of certain sales milestones, and up to an additional $19.1 million in shares of the our common stock to the former stockholders of Claros upon and subject to the achievement of certain milestones.

As of March 31, 2012, we have outstanding lines of credit in the aggregate amount of $14.2 million with 7 financial institutions in Chile, with an additional $5.2 million available for additional borrowings. The average interest rate on these lines of credit is approximately 7%. These lines of credit are short-term and are generally due within three months. These lines of credit are used primarily as a source of working capital for inventory purchases. The highest balance at any time during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $14.7 million. We intend to continue to enter into these lines of credit as needed. There is no assurance that these lines of credit or other funding sources will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, in the future.

Our unutilized $12.0 million line of credit with the Frost Group expired on March 31, 2012. We were obligated to pay interest upon maturity, capitalized quarterly, on any outstanding borrowings under the line of credit at an 11% annual rate. The line of credit was collateralized by all of our U.S. based personal property except our intellectual property and had no amounts borrowed after June 2, 2010 when it was repaid in full.

We expect to incur losses from operations for the foreseeable future. We expect to incur substantial research and development expenses, including expenses related to the hiring of personnel and additional clinical trials. We expect that selling, general and administrative expenses will also increase as we expand our sales, marketing and administrative staff and add infrastructure.

We believe the cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities on hand at March 31, 2012 and the amounts available to be borrowed under our lines of credit are sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for operations and debt service beyond the next 12 months. We based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong or are subject to change, and we may be required to use our available cash resources sooner than we currently expect. If we acquire additional assets or companies, accelerate our product development programs or initiate additional clinical trials, we will need additional funds. Our future cash requirements will depend on a number of factors, including possible acquisitions, the continued progress of research and development of our product candidates, the timing and outcome of clinical trials and regulatory approvals, the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending, and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights, the status of competitive products, the availability of financing, and our success in developing markets for our product candidates. If we are not able to secure additional funding when needed, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our clinical trials or research and development programs or possible acquisitions.

We intend to finance additional research and development projects, clinical trials and our future operations with a combination of available cash on hand, payments from potential strategic research and development, licensing and/or marketing arrangements, public offerings, private placements, debt financing and revenues from future product sales, if any. There can be no assurance, however, that additional capital will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Accounting estimates . The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Equity-based compensation . We recognize equity based compensation as an expense in our financial statements and that cost is measured at the fair value of the awards and expensed over their vesting period. Equity-based compensation arrangements to non-employees are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date. We estimate the grant-date fair value of our stock option grants using a valuation model known as the Black-Scholes-Merton formula or the “Black-Scholes Model” and allocate the resulting compensation expense over the corresponding requisite service period associated with each grant. The Black-Scholes Model requires the use of several variables to estimate the grant-date fair value of stock options including expected term, expected volatility, expected dividends and risk-free interest rate. We perform significant analyses to calculate and select the appropriate variable assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Model. We also perform significant analyses to estimate forfeitures of equity-based awards. We are required to adjust our forfeiture estimates on at least an annual basis based on the number of share-based awards that ultimately vest. The selection of assumptions and estimated forfeiture rates is subject to significant judgment and future changes to our assumptions and estimates may have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Goodwill and intangible assets . The allocation of the purchase price for acquisitions requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, including in-process research and development, and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. Additionally, we must determine whether an acquired entity is considered to be a business or a set of net assets, because a portion of the purchase price can only be allocated to goodwill in a business combination.

Appraisals inherently require significant estimates and assumptions, including but not limited to, determining the timing and estimated costs to complete the in-process research and development projects, projecting regulatory approvals, estimating future cash flows, and developing appropriate discount rates. We believe the estimated fair values assigned to the Claros and FineTech assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on reasonable assumptions. However, the fair value estimates for the purchase price allocation may change during the allowable allocation period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, if additional information becomes available that would require changes to our estimates.

Allowance for doubtful accounts and revenue recognition . Generally, we recognize revenue from product sales when goods are shipped and title and risk of loss transfer to our customers. Our estimates for sales returns are based upon the historical patterns of products returned matched against the sales from which they originated, and management’s evaluation of specific factors that may increase the risk of product returns. We analyze accounts receivable and historical bad debt levels, customer credit worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts using the specific identification method. Our reported net loss is directly affected by management’s estimate of the collectability of accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts recognized in our consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Recent accounting pronouncements . On January 1, 2012, we adopted an amendment issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to the accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosure requirements. This standard provides certain amendments to the existing guidance on the use and application of fair value measurements and maintains a definition of fair value that is based on the notion of exit price. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2012, we adopted amendments issued by the FASB to the accounting standards related to the presentation of comprehensive income. These standards revise the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements and remove the option to present items of other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. These standards require an entity to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income, or (2) two separate but consecutive statements of net income and other comprehensive income. We modified our financial statements presentation using the latter alternative.

Table of Contents

On January 1, 2012, we adopted revised guidance issued by the FASB related to the testing of goodwill for impairment. Under the revised guidance, an entity has the option to perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value prior to performing the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. If, based on the qualitative factors, an entity determines that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then the entity would not be required to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test for that reporting unit. However, if the qualitative assessment indicates that it is not more-likely-than-not that the reporting unit’s fair value exceeds its carrying value, then the quantitative assessment must be performed. An entity is permitted to perform the qualitative assessment on none, some or all of its reporting units and may also elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and begin with the quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment. This amendment did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In the normal course of doing business, we are exposed to the risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk – Although we do not speculate in the foreign exchange market, we may from time to time manage exposures that arise in the normal course of business related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates by entering into offsetting positions through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts. Certain firmly committed transactions are hedged with foreign exchange forward contracts. As exchange rates change, gains and losses on the exposed transactions are partially offset by gains and losses related to the hedging contracts. Both the exposed transactions and the hedging contracts are translated at current spot rates, with gains and losses included in earnings.

Our derivative activities, which consist of foreign exchange forward contracts and swaps, are initiated to hedge forecasted cash flows that are exposed to foreign currency risk. The foreign exchange forward contracts generally require us to exchange local currencies for foreign currencies based on pre-established exchange rates at the contracts’ maturity dates. As exchange rates change, gains and losses on these contracts are generated based on the change in the exchange rates that are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations at maturity, and offset the impact of the change in exchange rates on the foreign currency cash flows that are hedged. If the counterparties to the exchange contracts do not fulfill their obligations to deliver the contracted currencies, we could be at risk for currency related fluctuations. During January 2012, we entered into a foreign exchange, fixed interest rate swap contract that provides for us to pay a fixed interest rate on the underlying loan balance denominated in Chilean Pesos. We entered into this agreement in Chile for purchases of inventory denominated in U.S. dollars. A hypothetical 1% interest rate change or 10% foreign exchange rate change will not have a material impact on our results from operations or financial position. We enter into these contracts with counterparties that we believe to be creditworthy and do not enter into any leveraged derivative transactions. We had $3.2 million in foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding at March 31, 2012, primarily to hedge Chilean-based operating cash flows against US dollars. If Chilean Pesos were to strengthen in relation to the US dollar, our loss or gain on hedged foreign currency cash-flows would be offset by the derivative contracts, with a net effect of zero.

We do not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments or purchasing hedging instruments or “other than trading” instruments that are likely to expose us to significant market risk, whether interest rate, foreign currency exchange, commodity price, or equity price risk.

Interest Rate Risk – Our exposure to market risk relates to our cash and investments and to our borrowings. We maintain an investment portfolio of money market funds. The securities in our investment portfolio are not leveraged, and are, due to their very short-term nature, subject to minimal interest rate risk. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. Because of the short-term maturities of our investments, we do not believe that a change in market interest rates would have a significant negative impact on the value of our investment portfolio except for reduced income in a low interest rate environment. At March 31, 2012, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $62.1 million. The weighted average interest rate related to our cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was 0%. As of March 31, 2012, the principal value of our credit lines was $14.2 million at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 7% for the three months then ended.

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we invest our excess cash in debt instruments of the U.S. Government and its agencies, bank obligations, repurchase agreements and high-quality corporate issuers, and money market funds that invest in such debt instruments, and, by policy, restrict our exposure to any single corporate issuer by imposing concentration limits. To minimize the exposure due to adverse shifts in interest rates, we maintain investments at an average maturity of generally less than three months.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 13a-15(e) as of March 31, 2012. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information the Company is required to disclose in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes to the Company’s Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In connection with the closing of the FineTech acquisition in December 2011, we began implementing standards and procedures at FineTech including upgrading and establishing controls over accounting systems, and adding employees and consultants who are trained and experienced in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP to ensure that we have in place appropriate internal control over financial reporting at FineTech. Other than as set forth above with respect to FineTech, there have been no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s first fiscal quarter of 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

FineTech’s assets constituted $36.3 million and $28.1 million of total and net assets, respectively, as of March 31, 2012 and $1.6 and $0.3 million of revenues and net loss, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
